Create Stripe App without UI
We are trying to create a Stripe app that does not have a UI. All the documentation which I've looked at assumes a UI (even the authentication flows).
It is unclear what we should do for a non-UI app & how we get the acct_xxxx values out to pull data out of Stripe. Additionally, it would be very helpful if there was some documentation or example code on an app that purely grabs the required auth info out of Stripe and nothing more.
Should we create an app that has a blank drawer screen? It's unclear to me if that would even get through the app review process.
Best,
Steven
Bump - also stuck on trying to figure out how to provision OAuth Apps/Links without UI components.
Stripping down the manifest doesn't seem to work:

to get the upload succeed without any views could you please try ?
"ui_extension": {

}
Thank you for your response - working with just a bare manifest in the directory, here's what happens when I attempt that upload:

(edit: note also, prior to uploading I had removed the entire auto-created .build directory to ensure caching was not a concern)
I was able to get the upload to succeed by removing the src/ directory from the autogenerated structure and uploading in that context instead:

This is with the same Before empty manifest as above.
Please note that my goal is a backend-only app without any Stripe UI modifications.
As a bit of user feedback, this is a lot of hoops to jump through for what is normally a "create OAuth App ID" button/screen in most other platforms.
Running into this issue as well. I tried removing "ui_extension" from the manifest but the UI is still there.
